Nikola Jokic scored 61 points and recorded the highest-scoring triple-double in NBA history, yet the Denver Nuggets lost at home in a double-overtime thriller against the Minnesota Timberwolves, 139-140.

Russell Westbrook missed an open layup on a fast break that would have put Denver ahead by three points with 11.3 seconds left and then fouled Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who sealed the victory from the free-throw line.
